Theindustrialrobotis usedinthemanufacturingenvironmenttoincreaseproductivity.Itcanbeusedto doroutine andtediousassemblylinejobs ,or it can performjobs thatmightbe hazardous todoroutineandtediousassemblylinejobs,oritcanperform jobsthatmightbehazardous tothehuman worker。
Forexample ,oneofthefirstindustrialrobotswas usedtoreplacethenuclearfuelrodsinnuclearpowerplants。
Ahumandoingthisjob mightbe exposedtoharmfulamounts ofradiation.Theindustrial robotcanalsooperate ontheassemblyline ,putting togethersmallcomponents,suchasplacing electronic componentsonaprinted circuitboard. Thus ,thehumanworkercanberelievedofthe routine operationofthis tedioustask。
Robotscan alsobeprogrammedto defusebombs ,toservethehandicapped,andtoperformfunctionsinnumerous applicationsinoursociety.
Therobot canbethoughtofasamachine thatwillmovean end-of-armtool , sensor,and gripperto apreprogrammedlocation. Whentherobotarrivesat thislocation,itwill performsomesortof task.Thistaskcouldbewelding,sealing,machine loading ,machine unloading,orahostofassemblyjobs .Generally,thiswork canbeaccomplishedwithouttheinvolvementofahumanbeing , exceptforprogrammingandforturning thesystemonandoff.
Thebasicterminologyofroboticsystems isintroducedin the following :
1. Arobotisareprogrammable,multifunctionalmanipulatordesignedto moveparts,materials,tools,orspecialdevices throughvariable programmedmotionsfortheperformanceofa varietyof different task.This basicdefinition leadstootherdefinitions,presented inthefollowing paragraphs, thatgiveacomplete pictureofaroboticsystem .
2.Preprogrammed locationsarepathsthat the robotmustfollowtoaccomplishwork.Atsomeofthese locations, therobot willstopand performsomeoperation, suchasassemblyofparts ,spraypainting,orwelding. Thesepreprogrammed locations arestored in therobot’smemoryandarerecalledlaterforcontinuousoperation.Furthermore,thesepreprogrammedlocations,aswell asotherprogramdata,can bechanged laterastheworkrequirementschange .Thus,withregard tothisprogramming feature,an industrialrobot is very muchlike a computer ,wheredatacanbestored andlaterrecalledand edited.
3. The manipulator isthe armoftherobot.Itallowsthe robottobend, reach, andtwist 。
Thismovementisprovidedby themanipulator’s axes,alsocalledthedegreesof freedomoftherobot。
Arobotcan havefrom 3to 16axes.Thetermdegreesoffreedomof freedomwill always relatetothenumberof axesfound onarobot.

The toolingandgrippersarenotpartoftheroboticsystemitself; rather, theyare attachmentsthatfitonthe endoftherobot’sarm .Theseattachmentsconnected to theend of therobot’sarmallowtherobot tolift parts ,spot—weld,paint, arc-weld ,drill ,deburr,anddoavarietyoftasks , depending on whatisrequired oftherobot .
5.Theroboticsystemcanalsocontrol thework celloftheoperatingrobot。
theworkcelloftherobot isthetotalenvironmentin whichthe robotmustperformitstask。
Includedwithinthis cellmaybe thecontroller, therobotmanipulator, a worktable,safetyfeatures ,or aconveyor 。
Alltheequipmentthatisrequiredin orderfor the robottodoitsjob isincludedintheworkcell. Inaddition,signalsfromoutside devices cancommunicatewiththerobot inordertotelltherobotwhenitshouldassembleparts, pickupparts,orunloadpartstoaconveyor.
Theroboticsystemhasthreebasiccomponents:
themanipulator , the controller,andthepowersource .
A 。
Manipulator
Themanipulator,whichdoes thephysicalworkoftheroboticsystem , consistsoftwosections:
themechanicalsectionandtheattachedappendage. Themanipulatoralsohasabase towhichtheappendagesareattached.Fig.1illustratestheconnectionofthebaseand theappendageofarobot .
The base ofthemanipulator isusuallyfixedtothefloor of thework area。
Sometimes,though,the basemaybemovable .Inthis case , thebaseis attachedto either arailoratrack , allowingthe manipulatortobemovedfromone location toanother.
As mentionedpreviously,theappendageextends from thebase oftherobot.Theappendageis thearmoftherobot。
Itcanbeeitherastraight ,movablearmorajointedarm.thejointedarmisalsoknownasanarticulatedarm.
The appendagesoftherobotmanipulatorgive the manipulatoritsvariousaxes ofmotion.Theseaxes areattachedtoafixedbase,which,inturn , issecured to a mounting. Thismountingensuresthatthemanipulatorwill remaininonelocation。
Atthe endofthearm,awrist is connected.Thewristis madeupof additional axes and a wristflange。
Thewristflangeallowsthe robot usertoconnectdifferent tooling to thewristfordifferentjobs。
Themanipulator’s axesallowitto performworkwithin acertainarea.Thisareaiscalledthe workcellofthe robot, anditssizecorrespondstothesizeofthemanipulator.Fig。

As therobot’sphysical sizeincreases ,thesizeoftheworkcellmustalso increase 。
The movementofthemanipulatoris controlledbyactuators ,or drivesystems。
Theactuators,ordrivesystem ,allowsthe variousaxestomovewithintheworkcell .The drive systemcanuseelectric,hydraulic,orpneumaticpower 。
Theenergydevelopedbythe drive systemisconvertedtomechanical power byvariousmechanicaldrivesystems。
Thedrivesystems arecoupledthrough mechanicallinkages.These linkages,in turn,drivethe differentaxesoftherobot.Themechanicallinkagesmaybe composedofchains, gears,andballscrews.
B.Controller
The controllerintheroboticsystemistheheartoftheoperation.Thecontrollerstores preprogrammedinformationforlater recall,controlperipheral devices,andcommunicateswithcomputerswithin theplantforconstantupdatesinproduction
The controllersis usedtocontroltherobotmanipulator'smovementsaswell astocontrol peripheralcomponentswithinthework cell.Theusercanprogram the movements ofthe manipulatorinto thecontrollerthrough the useofahand-heldteach pendent.Thisinformationis storedinthe memoryofthecontrollerfor laterrecall.Thecontrollerstoresallprogramdata oftheroboticsystem.Itcanstore severaldifferentprograms,andanyoftheseprograms canbeedited.
Thecontroller isalsorequiredtocommunicatewithperipheralequipmentwithintheworkcell。
Forexample,the controllerhasaninputlinethatidentifieswhen amachiningoperationiscompleted.Whenthemachinecycle iscompleted, theinputlineturns on,tellingthecontroller to position themanipulatorso thatit can pickupthefinishedpart.Then,a newpartispickedupbythemanipulatorand placedintothemachine.Next,thecontroller signalsthemachinetostart operation。
Thecontrollercan be madefrom mechanicallyoperateddrumsthatstep through asequenceof events。
Thistype ofcontrolleroperateswitha verysimplerobotic system. The controllers foundonthemajorityofroboticsystemsaremorecomplexdevicesandrepresentstate—of—the-artelectronics.Thatis, theyaremicroprocessor—operated.Thesemicroprocessorsareeither 8-bit, 16—bit,or32-bit processors.This powerallowsthe controllerto be veryflexible initsoperation.
Thecontroller cansendelectricsignalsover communication linesthat allowit totalkwiththe various axesofmanipulator.This two—waycommunicationbetweenthe robot manipulatorandthe controllermaintainsaconstantupdateofthelocationand theoperation ofthe system. Thecontrolleralsocontrolsanytoolingplaced ontheend ofthe robot’swrist.
Thecontroller alsohasthe jobofcommunicatingwith thedifferent plantcomputers.The communicationlinkestablishestherobotaspartofacomputer-assistedmanufacturing (CAM)system。
As the basic definitionstated,therobotis a reprogrammable, multifunctionalmanipulator。
Therefore,thecontroller mustcontain sometypeof memory storage。
Themicroprocessor-basedsystemsoperatein conjunctionwithsolid-state memorydevices 。
Thesememory devices maybemagneticbubbles,random-access memory,floppydisks, or magnetic tape。
Eachmemorystoragedevicestores programinformation forlater recallorforediting。
C.Sensors
Measurerobotconfiguration/condition anditsenvironmentsendsuchinformationto roborcontrolleraselectronic signals(e.g.,armposition,presencsoftoxicgas)。

E. Manipulator base
A robot mayworkin afixedbase,orinamobilebase,thatis,it can move aboutbyemployingwheels orlegs。
F. Powersupply
The powersupplyis the unitthatsupplies powertothecontrollerand themanipulator。
Twotypesof poweraredeliveredtotheroboticsystem.Onetypeofpoweris theACpowerforoperation ofthecontroller 。
The other typeofpowerisused for drivingthevariousaxesof themanipulator.Forexample , iftherobotmanipulatoridcontrolled byhydraulicorpneumaticmanipulatordrives , controlsignalsaresenttothesedevices,causi
